PAMPHLET LAWS WANTED.

The plan of j. Walter Pancoast to
have the laws printed in pamphlet
form and sold for the nominal sum OF
ten cents to all those who wish them
is a good idea, in deed, and much pres
sure should be brought to bear by the
people to have them so distributed.
Last year the State expended S65.OOO
to have the laws printed III seventy
five papers. Those papers were chosen
by the State Comptroller, Treasurer
and Governor and only those get the
laws who are in the political rings and
can bri lg political pressure to bear on
the choosers. The appropriation has
grown so large in recent years That the
State has begun to call a halt on the
useless expenditure and it was reduced
last a There were so many useless
laws passed last year that the number
of papers had to be greatly reduced in
order to make the appropriation go
around and each paper receive the le-
gal price for printing. In some places
only half the laws We're printed IN a
chosen paper as the legal spoils had to
be divided between two party papers.
Those papers who printed all the laws
received SSH for doing 50.
Granted that newspaper advertising
is the best plan to put a subject before
the people, does the print e OF the laws
in newspaper subserve the best inter
ests of the people. We answer, no.
The printing of laws are allowed III
nam papers as party rewards and but

out of a hundred reads the laws through

case arises but out side of the Justices
of the Peace and Assessors and a few
others who are allowed the laws, it is
almost impossible to procure a copy OF

When the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road built it's new line from Bait lmore
to Philadelphia it thought it works
was finished and it could enter into
competition with the Pennsylvania
railroad in through freight traffic with
the South and West by using the Read
ing system between Philadelphia and
New York. But it hardly got the new
line in running order when the new
President of the Reading road, Boston
Corbin, Joined his enemy the Pennsyl-
yania line to throttle the Is. x .,
Then the b. Il o. thought it could Sc
cure a through route by building anoth-
er line from Philade phia to Bound
Brook and connect with the jersey
Central road but now it has come to
light that Mr.. Corbin has secured a
controlling interest of the stock OF the
Jersey Central and has asked the b. u
o. to use the Reading on its W terms
but President Garrett refused.
AS the Jersey Central is the key to
through petition the commercial pub
lie is watching with interest what Mr..
Corbin will do to induce or throttle the
B. Il o.
Among the plans of Mr.. Corbin re-
garding his new property it is said that
he intends to extend the system along
the Jersey coast and make new sum-
luar resorts in that section, in opposi-
ton to those of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. 1t is calculated
that this move would attract a large
amount of travel over the Southern
Railroad of New Jersey, which would
make it a source of profit instead OF
loss, as it has been for many years.
Mr.. Corbin also expects to contribute
a large amount of business from the
Morris and Cumberland Railroad which
he recently purchased, to the Ne" Jer-
sew Southern. The further improve
ment of the Philadelphia aud Alta tic
CITY Railroad, the Narrow Gauge, isal-
50 contemplated, that it may receive a
larger portion of the seaside resort pas

j Judge Reagan.

Judge Reagan Will be the uuly far
mer in the Senate. At the close of the
war he went back to his old home, ,on
a small sandy farm, near Palestine,
Tex, and began the springs work
He had hardly u dollar in the world,
and could not hire even a single negro
to help him. At that time he was ex-
ceedingIy unpopular with his neighbors
and with the Southern people generally.
While a prisoner in Fort Warren he
had written a letter to his people ut
at home acknowledging that the South
had been defeated, advising her people
30 accept the situation, go to their
homes and farms and begin life over
again. 1t took years for Reagan to
nutgrow tn effect of this letter. He
is 0 nearly 20 years old; but, as he
remarked a few days before leaving
Washington for Austin, Il come of a
long-lived family On both sides and 1
am good for quite a time yet" He
said he expected, if successful, to enjoy
the Texas precedent of being re-elect-
ed as a reward tor good service. Three
years ago Judge Reagan thought his
time had come to die. He had a dan
gerOus malady, and there was no al
tentative but death or an operation
that might itself be death. He took
the slender chances, and says he is now
a model of physical health. DR.. Lin
coin of New York, performed this diff
fcult surgical feat and for several
days his greatest fear vas that the
nervous shock to Reagan's huge frame
would kill him. Judge Reagon md
Jeff Davis were warm personal friends
during the war, and are yet. Mr.. Da-
Wis never fails to ask alter the welfare
of Reagan when he meets a Texan, and
and Judge Reagan's son jeff was NAM
ed after the President of the Confeder-
acy. This son and Molly, "a pretty
girl of IL, and a younger son are all
the children Judge Reagan has now in
his family. He has been married three
times, and the first two sets of chill
dren are married of. In his domestic
life the new Senator is "a model Of
kindness. lie never speaks Il cross
word and was never known to swear.
lie depends on his salary for a living,
and Mrs. Reagan, who runs the farm
says they lose money on it. 1t will
not raise cotton and the sand can't be
made into glass. 1t is expected that
John Young Gooch, a young lawyer
at Palestine, who studied with Judge
| Reagan. will succeed him in the House.
